Tarpon Springs trip planner

With the highest percentage of Greek-Americans of any U.S. city, Tarpon Springs is rich with coastal culture. Many immigrants moved to the area to work as divers for the sponge-harvesting industry. Merchants sell natural sponges in the Greektown historical district, although nowadays the fishing and shrimping industries are at the economic helm. Five historical sponge-diving boats are still anchored in the Sponge Docks district. Dodecanese Avenue--the main shopping street in the district--weaves through historical areas and past restaurants serving traditional Greek food and the fresh catch of the day.
